Western Australian residents could benefit from a home loan option from Goldfields Money

The former Goldfields Credit Union is now an authorised deposit taking financial institution, regulated by the same rules as Australian Banks. This will allow them to expand throughout Perth and beyond to all of Western Australia.

As a part of this plan, Goldfields Money provides its members with competitive home loan options.

Who is Goldfields Money?

Goldfields Money offers home loans for buyers, investors and homeowners who want to refinance. They can also be used for the purchase of land or to build a new home. With pre-approval available, you can know your buying power before you start shopping. With a Goldfields Money home loan, you are offered discounted variable rates and fixed rates.

Home loans offered by Goldfields Money

Standard home loan

The standard loan is available for up to 95% loan to value ratio (LVR) in amounts between $50,000 and $1,250,000. Terms extend for up to 30 years at a variable interest rate with the option of a fixed rate for up to the first five years.

Discounted home loan

A loan officer can tell you if you qualify for a discounted home loan. If you are purchasing an investment loan, you may choose interest only repayments for up to five years. Both personal and investment loans can be used for purchasing new property or refinancing an existing one.

Special rate home loan

New customers to Goldfields Money could qualify for a special rate on a home loan. The same features are offered, including unlimited additional repayments during the variable rate period of the loan.

Fixed rate home loans

For homebuyers who like the security of a steady repayment amount, a fixed rate is offered for up to the first five years of the home loan. Upon completion of the terms the interest rate reverts to the standard variable rate.

Personal information

Pay slips. Current pay slips that show your name, income and year to date earnings.

Debts. The statements of any other loans you may have and credit card accounts may be needed.

Important information about this website

finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We compare from a wide set of major banks, insurers and product issuers.

finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product. You should consider whether the products featured on our site are appropriate for your needs and seek independent advice if you have any questions.

The identification of a group of products, as 'Top' or 'Best' is a reflection of user preferences based on current website data. On a regular basis, analytics drive the creation of a list of popular products. Where these products are grouped, they appear in no particular order.

Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment.

We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.

Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labelling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.

Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
